[QUOTE="WhiteyMacD, post: 841713, member: 7633"] No jointer. I used trim boards which typically arent as warped as other types of lumber. Did them in just over 10" secions using some heavy claming power to try to take some of the little warp out. If there was still significant warp in the 10" sections, I took a midpoint and measure out 5" either side and snapped a line. Cut along the line with my circular saw to give each section a nice straight edge. Then glued and clamped the 3 10" sections together. It took me most of yesterday to finish the block top. Today was just putting on some trim to finish the edges and mounting some 2x4s to the bottom so the top uses a snug fit type of mount (easy to tear down). The only reason it looks that good is because I sanded from 5am to 7pm today. Well, that and sandable wood putty hides most gaps. ;) I would love to have a jointer or at least one of those planers (I think thats what its called, where you feed in lumber and it rips 2 sides at once. I fool around alot with lumber, making cabinets, tables, chairs. Sort of a little hobby that doesnt get alot of my attention. Dont have a lot of tools, so its poor man carpentry, but I have noticed my collection is growing. [/QUOTE]
